April socks


Well, here are my April socks. As with all self patterning yarn, getting the two socks to match exactly is extremely difficult. Usually I settle for just getting the color bands in the same order, although sometimes I just let them be different and have people wondering what I was doing in my sock drawer that morning.
This pair caused me to start the second sock over twice because the swirly patterns were so fancy or loud or garish or whatever, I figured no one would ever wear them if I didn't at least get them to almost match. Except for one band, I think I did pretty well, but I almost drove myself nuts getting that second sock. In fact, I think it's safe to say that I nearly had a case of terminal SSS
